Denver Nuggets at Golden State Warriors postgame 3-pointers

After each Nuggets game, Benjamin Hochman will breakdown three hot topics of the night

* The Nuggets shot a season-best 92.3 percent from the foul line. In fact, the team finished 24-for-26 and Chris Andersen was responsible for both misses. Melo was 17-for-17.

* Ty Lawson controlled the tempo of the fourth quarter, scoring six points in six minutes and attacking the rim fearlessly. The speedster is fun to watch. He plays in a gear that even fast guards can’t get to.

* The Nuggets took advantage of the injured Warriors (notably David Lee) but attacking the glass. Denver finished with 47 boards, while Golden State had 48. Melo, Nene and guard Arron Afflalo each had nine boards, while Al Harrington had eight against his old squad.
